In Match 16 of the Indian Premier League 2024, Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will go head-to-head at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, April 3.
Delhi Capitals have recovered from a shaky start to the season, securing a convincing win against Chennai Super Kings after losses to Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The likes of Rishabh Pant, David Warner and Prithvi Shaw delivered strong batting performances, which led the team to a total of 191 runs.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders are the team to beat this season. They have won both their first two matches and are currently placed at the second spot in the points table. After two consecutive victories over Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore, KKR will now be looking for a hat-trick of wins.
These two teams have met 32 times in the IPL, and the head-to-head record between these two teams is close, with KKR winning 16 matches, Delhi Capitals winning 15, and one match ending with no result.
